When I tried THS ICS gapps 7.1, 7 and 6 refused to actually load the market or any of the other apps I tried at all (yes I did wipe the caches and same for the individual apps), I re-flashed the whole onecosmic rom to get things going again :/
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Which was partly my fault, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Exact same thing happened to me. Just a heads up in case anyone is thinking about using gapps 7.1.

[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Folks, please, just read a little bit. Just a little. This is addressed on every other page since RC2 came out, including the OP.

RC2 must be used with an RC1 kernel for soft keys to work. Or, an alternate kernel (such as Glitch14 Preview4).
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I saw RC2 was out last night and was going to flash it when I saw all the chatter about the soft keys not working, etc. If I flash RC2.11 and then the kernel below, (from RC1) should everything work other than what is listed below the kernel? I realize there are other items in the OP such as fixing root if you have a problem, etc.

Not working Yet -

TV-Out needs testing, may / may not work

Android market may / may not let you purchase apps, use the website for the timebeing.
[Captivate Android Development] crusecontrl:
Flash rom... Clear data/fr.... Flash rom again.... Flash alternate kernel may I suggest nush's as it worked great for me.... Flash gappsv7.... All without rebooting..... Then reboot and profit.... Not one issue for me yet!

Instructions are easy to follow... Never had an issue with any rom if you just read and follow the instructions laid out for you.
[Captivate Android Development] Waen:
Hey brother,in fact Ive read alot,almost all through from when the 2.11 released,I know the soft key issue and know how to settle it,my mean is when the soft key's issue had been solved,another problem rised,I didn't see anyone else has the same problem before my last post.

Anyway thank you the suggestion:-)
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
stock

I've been on ICSSGS since the first Beta, and all the way through to 2.11 now. And since the beginning, I formatted boot, cache, system, data, datadata, Dalvik, wipe user data, flash ROM twice, kernel cleaning script, flash replacement kernel.

I figured that was pretty thorough. It wasn't until the most recent flash I did (two nights ago) that I actually took the time to one-click back to stock GB, then do all the above. It took considerably more time, but what a difference.

Ever since flashing back to stock first, my build.prop is fixed (no "your device is not compatible" message in the market), my market purchases are fixed (i.e. I am able to make purchased right from the market app), and I have not had a single FC.

I hope this helps someone out - made all the difference for me.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
So use gapps v7, not v7.1?
[Captivate Android Development] crusecontrl:
I'm sure it doesn't matter which version you use I think I used v7 but if you do it all in recovery like above then you shouldn't have an issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Waen:
so kind of you,guy,it so helpful,i think i should do a reflash strictly as your steps.thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Jdelgado:
Thanks

Hi Guys,

Thanks Great ROM so far it is running great. I notice a new version of Nushor's 3141. I wonder what is new if it fix the 4 buttons. I check the changelog but it doesnt reflect the new update.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
I loaded up the 3038 kernel and I'm not getting an orange glow when taking pictures. Perhaps it's a local issue?
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
+1 here, no orange glow for me either. 3038v runs quite nice, too. And Voodoo Color is a big plus. The manual color tuning via Galaxy Settings app on Glitch's kernel is OK, but no comparison to Voodoo.
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
I haven't had an issue with 4 buttons on any of nushor's kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
I've tried both the normal and bigmem nushor 3131 and the proximity sensor did not work on either.
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
By proximity sensor, you mean the sensor the turns the screen off when you put the phone up to your face? I haven't actually tested that on any build since I use a Bluetooth headset for all calls.
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
Yeah that's correct. Here are my experiences:

both Glitch kernels for RC2.11: no soft keys

both nushor 3131: no proximity sensor

glitch v14: no camera/video, everything seems a bit less responsive in general

trying the latest nushor right now
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Try Nushor 3038v (one page back someone posted a link), or Glitch14 Preview4.

Both have working soft keys and prox sensor, and working camera (no zoom, but there are better cameras on the market that have zoom working - such as Camera Zoom FX, which is what I use). Video recording is busted on both, but that's a ROM issue I think. Both are very smooth, and can be overclocked as well.
[Captivate Android Development] hernan078:
What would be the update process form alpha 7 to beta 1?
[Captivate Android Development] ZeroSX:
-nevermind- >.>
[Captivate Android Development] BitteredBro:
Just downloaded beta 1, flashed over alpha 8 twice, flashed kernel. Didn't clear data, so everything it's in it's place. I'll try the apps thatch were FCing on alpha 8

I can access my external fine through root explorer, but still cannot connect the storage in CWM. The full error is unable to open ums lunfile (no such file)
[Captivate Android Development] onesun43:
Anyone else experiencing severe lag in the gmail app?
[Captivate Android Development] yohannrjm:
Happened to me too (ums lunfile issue).

I flashed back to A7, and all was well. Then re-flashed to the beta.
[Captivate Android Development] nao2003:
the error must be in recovery i flashed older cwm and am able to access storage through recovery..
[Captivate Android Development] yohannrjm:
Had some problems with bootloops using the previous Captivate Kernel beta.

This new one (as of 5-ish h ago, took care of those issues).

lunfile issue is back on flashing the beta. :mad:

Will have to flash an older CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
For some reason my SuperUser is denying access to everything that requires root access. I have SuperUser v3.0.7 Su binary v3.0.3. I have set preferneces to allow access, and it still denies. Any ideas what I can do to allow root access? All help is much appreciated.

I flashed Alpha 7 with Kernal 7.5
[Captivate Android Development] deltatyger:
I flashed the 3.0.6 version posted in the same place as the kernel, rom etc.
[Captivate Android Development] yohannrjm:
Yep, use the version that's posted in the download site for the ICS build. That's flashable from CWM and takes care of the root access issues.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
This worked perfect... Thanks for quick response! :)
[Captivate Android Development] deltatyger:
Just want to thank the devs for the beta1, incredibly smoother compare to previous alphas. Not much issues to list really, everything worked as advertised!
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
I updated to Beta 1 from A7 and looks everything fine. See improvement on battery. Will report after using all other features. Have a nice day.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Everything looks great and most of it works real good. Titanium backup is currently restoring all my apps without a problem.

The only issue I am having now is recognizing my micro SD card. I did everything on this fix: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19542007&postcount=1568 and it still is not working. If anyone can help me with this problem, I think we might have a keeper here!

Spoke to soon, had an app hang, but not that big of a deal.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Does the Beta and Beta kernel work on the captivate without any issues?
[Captivate Android Development] deltatyger:
Yeah, I flashed beta1, pulled battery and reboot into recovery to flash again, and immediately followed by captivate beta kernel.

Hope this helps. Remember the superuser 3.0.6 zip as well.
[Captivate Android Development] deltatyger:
FYI, an updated version 2 of the Kernel just posted! Fix for init.D support and cache partition fix
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
Video recording works on 3038v. I confirmed that this morning. I will check out the market for a better camera/video camera though.

On a some what non-related note... Is anyone able to confirm the build number (listed under About Phone) for 2.11? I could swear it's the same as 2.1, but I may be going crazy.
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
yeah but I hate going backwards. :)

Nushor 4141 also has broken prox sensor. Going to fiddle with it to see if everything else works (camera, wifi tether). If the only thing broken is prox, I can live with hitting the power button during calls since I use my phone for much more than just calls. Overall, it feels pretty quick. faster than glitch v14 pre4. bigmem might be the ticket. Our not so new cappys need the extra headroom I think.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
You're not crazy. Even in the flash script the mini text-splash in CWM says 2.1. Probably a minor oversight.
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
nushor 3141 has a broken vidcam as well. Oh well, I'll give the old 3038 a shot but http://ics.darkirc.me/ doesn't have it any more. Anyone have a link?
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:

[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
Alternate Kernels will work but there is a little something to give up for it at the moment, either a busted camcorder or no home key depending on what kernel you use.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
This kernel has working camcorder, soft keys (including Home), Voodoo Color, and OC/UV capabilities:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/r5kRUa57/ICS_Captivate_20111221_r3038v_.html
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
I tried the kernel you suggested and the camcorder did work but then my home buttom would not work.. everything else was fine.. Does your home button work?
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
Thanks adzidek...

I just loaded 3038 (clean wipe + RC2.11 + 3038) and the proximity sensor is borked but camera is working again.
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
So your camcorder does work correctly? May I ask what specific kernel are you using? When I use one other than Glitch's v14 view 4 I lose my home key function. Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Wrong Home button works on ALL of Nush's kernels newer RC2 have broken cam corder.
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
On this kernel, does you home key work on your Captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Guys, something you're doing is wonky. I would suggest a one-click back to stock and start all over. This kernel for most people has no proximity or soft key issues at all.

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

Yup, it does.
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
I flashed it and lost my home key. Used kernel cleaning script before flashing. Maybe that did more harm than good. I'll try it again. I usually flash everything twice before rebooting to be safe.
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
probably a good idea at this point.

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

Does your proximity sensor work during a call?
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Yup, works as well.
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
Can't make a call. Now I get the error message android.process.acore has stopped. I'll do a kernel cleaning script this time and reflash and let you know about the proximity sensor.
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
I haven't used the kernel cleaning script yet and have had 0 problems.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Guys, don't be lazy! One-click back to stock and start all over. Trust me, WELL worth it. I have no bugs, no errors, and no FCs. You'll thank me later :)
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
I think I will start from scratch and see what happens. I used to always start from scratch but for awhile it seemed like ICS worked better on top of other ICS roms.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Hey, this is kinda cool:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20967493
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
Started from scratch, reflashed RC 2.11.. got in bootloop on animation, reflashed again with said kernel.. camera and camcorder work. proximity sensor is not.. I'll flash again.. everything else is working fine though.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I assume any Samsung stock rom would be fine - kb2, kj3, etc since ics will repartition anyways which is the complete wipe you are suggesting - correct?
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
Much, much better. Here's your thanks!!!:D
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
LOL, my pleasure :)

Sorry about your prox sensor tho....maybe it's pooched?
[Captivate Android Development] :
I did try the Glitch kernel :). I also upgraded from RC1.0.1. I will try your recommendations.

If you are upgrading from an earlier build.

1. Flash the newest build in CWM. :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
I did a complete wipe going to RC 1, it really helped get rid of all the junk on my phone that was causing a lot of problems.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
I use this one:

http://www.multiupload.com/5JMELEWCGW

No BootLoaders, and a kernel with CWM right outta the box.

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

In case anyone is wondering, I flashed the circle battery mod (which kicks ASS) and the disable cache mod (which actually made a big difference), and both work great, without breaking anything else :)
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
I stand corrected. After starting from a clean slate I have all the keys working.:o
[Captivate Android Development] cucumbersmell:
Proximity sensor is the only thing not working for me with Nushor 3038.

I do get the orange glow in the middle of pictures or video recordings. Was getting that on RC1 also, but I seem to be the only one having it...?
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
Update.. all appears well, minor issue when transitioning straight from camcorder to camera, mine camera will lock up. If I get out of camcorder mode using home button and back into camera it works great. Good to have everything working.(Minus the proximity sensor on mine. No biggie). Thanks for the suggestions!

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

Sensor worked before ICS. No big deal for me though. All phones are different, wife has a Captivate too, we bought them at the same time and somethings work differently on hers too. If it wasn't a challenge, it wouldn't be as rewarding!!
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
did you go back to stock? I can't do that right now to try to solve the sensor issue but if you've done it already, it would save me some time.
[Captivate Android Development] cppc:
These things seem to eat my battery like crazy. But they're kind of cool though ...
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
That's pretty weird...the Cache one is a framework mod, so maybe it needs to settle?
[Captivate Android Development] 7heBoss:
I was just about to flash this ROM but I was wondering if there were any significant differences between this on and teamhacksungs ICS ROM. Is one more stable than the other? I'll probably try and flash both and see which one works better, but I hear flashing from one to the other is tricky because one is i9000 and one is i897
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I flashed from Team Hacksung's build no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] 7heBoss:
So did you find any advantages or disadvantages on one over the other? which one do you prefer and why? Im coming off a ROM that seemed to have a lot of crashes so I don't want to deal with another
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Last build I used was 10 or 11 so can't say how it is now. =P Just try them ou t ;)
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
I went to stock Froyo. You should still try it yourself though. We have seen countless times where one person's phone acts totally different than another's.

It might work for you.. starting from scratched helped a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
Thanks. I'll probably do that. I just got a phone call and my cheek started hitting buttons. :)

I plan to use the 1-click adzidek posted since that was what he did. hoping for some luck!

Flashed RC2.1.1 and KC1 as my modem and my GPS is awesome, 10/10 sat lock and 5m accuracy in 10 seconds.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Just letting you guys know that nushor's latest kernel has working light/proximity sensor. Still broken video recorder.
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
I also use KC1, I'm in the Toronto area. Best modem in this area, by far.
[Captivate Android Development] envirojay:
Hey do you know the link for a good modem to use for Toronto I'm on bell canada and running the RC2 ICS RIM 4.0.3 WITH GLITCH KERNEL
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
flashed the latest nushor and my phone is dead. I've tried as many ways as I can do get into recovery or download mode but to no avail. During the boot screen after the AT&T logo, the progress bar advances about halfway, freezes, then reboots. ACK!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Odd I'm using big mem no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
You may of tried this so I apologize but pull the battery, put it back in. Hold down the volume up and keep holding just before pressing and holding the power on button. Once the screen flashes keep holding the volume up button and let go of the power button. After a couple of seconds let go of the volume up and this has always got me into recovery even when I was in a bootloop. Worst case if you have a jig you can start all over.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Did you try the method of pulling the battery before inserting the cable while holding volume up and down?
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
yeah, no dice. I can't even get into download mode. It freezes at the big ICS SGS logo screen.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

whew... I can get into download mode now. Apparently with my the usb cable connected to me docking station, it didn't work. But once I plugged into the laptop directly, a welcomed yellow digging android appears!
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Delete....
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
thanks guys... back up and running. Thank goodness for odin and TiBU.

interesting that one usb port worked and not another. back to RC2.11+latest nushor when I get home.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
OP updated with a new and improved DataFixer.zip. Check it out!
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
Could be a hardware issue?
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
I'm ready to try this method. I've done all those steps during various flashes EXCEPT format /boot since I didn't know for certain what that would do. A google search shows it "should" be safe - apparently doesn't touch the bootloaders but is that really necessary? Is that partition not touched when you flash stock and ICS repartitions the phone?
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:

[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
have I maybe missed a fix for camera zoom? (before anyone says it yes I have read but didn't see it)

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

same for me
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
No, not really necessary, and yes, should be safe. The important part of my post was the one-click Odin back to stock. That's what made all the difference for me. The /boot formatting is not all that crucial.
[Captivate Android Development] crusecontrl:
It also will reverse the Datafixer if you applied it and dorked your phone
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
Don't know what I'm doing wrong. One-click Odin, boot up, clear caches, reset, flash 2.11, flash any kernel. Phone either freezes at start screen or fails to boot up all the way.
[Captivate Android Development] cucumbersmell:
Yellow in middle when taking pics/vids

Possible, but it works fine when I go back to any NON-ICS ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
Try a different ICS version then flash 2.11 over it.
[Captivate Android Development] tlkraus1965:
May also want to download the rom again from the site. Might of been a bad download.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Flash it twice?

I know what the problem is. Grab a one-click *with* boot loaders and start again. You borked your BLs along the way. Same thing happened to me once.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Still can't charge with phone off? OP doesn't mention it

I flashed to stock KI2, formatted SD, wiped data, etc. and installed RC2.11 and the latest Nushor 3147 Bigmem. I noticed that even if the phone is off and you plug in a wall charger that it boots. Shouldn't this be listed in the OP as a known issue or did I miss it?

Did u have any tweaks? I had pikachus tweaks and had to reformat sd to get it to work
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Which type of GB, stock or MIUI/CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Thanks - I saw it listed in the thread earlier. However, I "assumed" it was fixed because it isn't listed under "known issues". I've been running Kangs for a while since CM7 stopped updating but I really wanted to try ICS and am hoping it is stable enough for a daily driver. I know there are other solutions but I have always shut my phone down at night while I am sleeping and left it charging so I was hoping that bug was gone now.
